The effect of Decisions and Outcomes on the career maturity of high school students

Most high school students have difficulty making effective career decisions. To address this problem, the investigators examined the impact of the College Entrance Examination Board's Decisions and Outcomes Program on the career maturity of 11th-grade high school students. The study demonstrated that the program can increase students' career maturity in specific areas. In addition, the study supported previous research that has demonstrated that students with greater ego identity produce higher scores on certain attitude components of career maturity. Overall, Decisions and Outcomes was most successful in facilitating the affective domain of career maturity.
